Li Xianglian swiftly packed her luggage and said to her younger son on the kang bed, "You need to be observant when you're at your grandparent's place, don't just play wildly. Keep an eye out for chores to help out, your grandparents are getting on in years."
"Mom, I want to go to my second uncle's place, too." The little boy, Li Hongtao, nicknamed Shuanzi, looked at his mother with tears brimming, wondering why everyone was going to his second uncle's and why he was the only one who couldn't go. After all, his second aunt had also invited him in her letter.
"What's the use of you going there? Your dad and I are going to help your second aunt with work. If we take you, we'll have to look after you too..." Li Xianglian spoke without turning her head.
"You don't need to look after me, I'm already an adult. I can help my second aunt with work as well," Shuanzi puffed out his chest.
